The books that will help you

As there are so many books, it is very important to choose right one. It is not possible that a book loves by one is loved by all. Student should choose a book which helps them in their studies. After leaving college we must choose books suited to our intellectual taste.

As it is impossible to read more than a very small fraction of the immense number of books now in existence, the proper choice of books is a matter of great importance. A popular writer lately drew out a list of what were in his opinion the hundred best books to read. But although all that Sir John Lubbock has to say on any question of general interest is sure to be instructive and deserves serious consideration, it would be idle to suppose that the hundred books that seem best to one particular person can be the best for every other individual. The list he made out may about as good a list as could be must be modified by each of us in accordance with our own tastes and the end we seek to obtain by reading books. The chief end for which a young student studies books is almost always success in examinations, for the attainment of which success he some times sacrifices more important ends. He will therefore be inclined to neglect general reading, and only care to obtain from his teacher a list of the books that will help him in the work of mastering the prescribed course of study. When he leaves college, if he has acquired in the course of his education a taste for reading, he will probably aim at the wider object of increasing his culture: and at the same time he ought to be anxious to choose such books as will not only increase his knowledge, but also make him a better and happier man.
